When I worked at the ASUCLA Computer Store at UCLA, Apple shipped LaserWriters without power cords.  Instead there was a note listing specifications of the power cord that the customer, after spending like $4500 for a LW IINTX, needed to buy on their own.  Maybe Apple found these "lost" cords and decided to get rid of them?  Heh heh.
